Ingredients

• 250 g Lean ground chicken
• 20 pieces Whole wheat wonton wrappers
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 1.5 liters Low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce, low-sodium
• 100 g Spinach leaves
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 small Red chili, sliced (optional for spice)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground chicken, minced garlic, minced ginger, grated carrot, and chopped green onions. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Take one whole wheat wonton wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center. Wet the edges with a small amount of water and fold the wrapper over the filling, pressing to seal properly. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 3

Bring the low-sodium chicken broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the sesame oil to the broth.

Step 4

Gently place the filled wontons into the simmering broth. Allow them to cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the wonton wrappers become translucent and the filling is cooked through.

Step 5

Add the spinach leaves to the broth and let them wilt for about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Season the soup with the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, ground black pepper, and rice vinegar, adjusting to taste.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each has an equal number of wontons. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced red chili, if using.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy this heart-healthy delight.
